Note that some browsers use
different types of bullets to distinguish
between different levels within the list. Some will let you manually
control which bullet will be used by adding a command to either
the <UL> or <LI> tags:

When you're typing your list HTML, it would be a good idea to
skip a few lines between sections or to indent the lists-within-lists.
It won't affect the way the list is displayed, but it will make it
much easier for you to keep track of the different sections than the
above example does.

If a list item is longer than one line, the second and following
lines will be
automatically indented:

Now is the winter of our discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York;
and all the clouds that lour'd upon our house in the deep bosom of the ocean
buried.

Grim-visag'd war hath smooth'd his wrinkled front, and now, instead of mounting
barbed steeds to fright the souls of fearful adversaries, he capers nimbly in a lady's
chamber to the lascivious pleasing of a lute.

Ordered Lists

The Ordered List tag <OL> assigns numbers to the List
Items <LI>:

<OL>
<LI>Comedies
<LI>Tragedies
<LI>Histories
</OL>

Comedies

Tragedies

Histories

The Arabic numerals can be replaced with Roman numerals or letters
(uppercase and lowercase):

The Definition List <DL> tag was intended for listing
Terms <DT> and their Definitions <DD>, but
they can be used in any situation where you would like text to be
indented:

<DL>
<DT>Comedies
<DD>Twelfth Night
<DD>As You Like It
<DD>Much Ado About Nothing

<DT>Tragedies
<DD>King Lear
<DD>Hamlet
<DD>Othello
<DD><BR>(This line break tag will cause
a space to be skipped
before the next <DT> tag)

<DT>Richard III says the following speech, although a
misprint in my edition indicates that someone
named Glos says it:
<DD>Now is the winter of our
discontent made glorious summer by this sun of York;
and all the clouds that lour'd upon our house
in the deep bosom of the ocean buried. Now are our brows
bound with victorious wreaths; our
bruised arms hung up for monuments; our stern alarums
chang'd to merry meetings, our dreadful
marches to delightful measures.

Not all browsers will allow you to nest definition lists within
other definition lists or to mix them with ordered or unordered
lists, but some
will.

There are several other kinds of lists, but I haven't found any
use for them. Try some other websites if
you're interested.
